Natural Walking Bindings

About us

Our History:

Stefano Maruelli

The division "Outdoor Sports Equipments" was founded in 1992 as a development laboratory for new projects linked to the Outdoor world.

The research fields aim mechanics to engineering - Aeronautics - Electronics - IT and of course mechatronics of new products for various outdoor sports, from the dynamic model to ski tourism.

We are specialized in research, development, patenting, prototyping and industrialization of different products. We have accomplished many futuristic projects, become now finished products and commercialized by other companies in the sector, often of primary importance in the global market.

Our motto:

If it is not really new we do not care !

And if we take care of something it is why it comes from our experience (many years) in the field.

Our Production:

Currently we are focusing on the production of accessories for ski touring, a niche market that we consider interesting .

Heel lift  Click-Clack:

Click-Clack is a heel lift for Dynafit bindings, whose patent was assigned and was "transformed" in the upper part of the attack Dynafit® RADICAL.

The Natural Walking Plate:

The Natural Walking Plate born in secret in 2006, following the conclusion of the Click-Clack project.

The idea came after a long ski mountaineering experience (which began at the age of 12 years and more cultivated in his spare time).
The Natural Walking Plate born in secret in 2006, following the conclusion of the Click-Clack project.
The idea came after a long ski mountaineering experience (which began at the age of 12 years and more cultivated in free time).
Along many kilometers (more than 15 outward and the same to return) in the bottom of the valley to reach the most beautiful and hidden trips, I wondered if it made sense to do so much effort to drag skis so unnatural.
The path from idea to realization of a product has been long and laborious because, as anyone can imagine, it is one thing to have good ideas, other then do them and make them work in the snow: it's never the same thing and nothing behaves in the same way.
After many changes: over 15 at project level and at least six versions of functional prototypes and several quintals of Aluminum reduced to chips or chunks and then deeply changed, we have come to have a line of plates for Dynafit bindings (and similar) in 4 versions: standard, rental, light and Vertical Race and a plate version with integrated attacks called Natural Walking Bindings Race.
Today the list of meters in altitude routes exceeds one million. In confirmation of the correct sizing of every detail from the joints to the long beams pins, in all these tests it has never been a failure that has prevented the use of the plates for skiing back to your car.

During the tests we made the commitment to do damage and we saw that the only problems that can arise are due to lack of maintenance and failure of the screw tightening control (especially if you dismount and do not screw again using the brakes proper fillets Loctite). In the latest version available, we also doubled and changed the return spring position.

Our best guarantee is the ability to let you test drive the product before purchasing, and the ability to customize the plates is a function of the attacks of used boots. And for those who want to rebuild a complete equipment we offer the complete kit is ski-rounder to the TRAB versions Dynafit ultralight race.

We then also have the opportunity to sell and do maintenance to the entire line of products TRAB Dynafit so we are also developing the "patch" or UPGRADE like Antitwist Plate for Radical.

Our sales network:

At the ISPO 2012 we have officially presented to the market a range of products dedicated to alpine skiers and ski hikers (with NWP-TLT) version that the chrono-climbers (NWP-RACE) and the demo versions of "RENTAL" that allow you to try all of the Natural Walking Plate (3 to 99 years, 13 to 47 feet) and we have already materialized collaborations born all'Ispo2011, for global distribution of ns. products.

In the section you will find a list retailers, gradually increasing, our distributors, resellers and support points.

Our distributor-dealer "type" is a specialist shop with laboratory and personnel to give technical assistance and qualified both for installation and for the maintenance of our. plates that objects that are to be installed with millimeter precision and kept in efficiency with a minimum of cleaning and care before, but especially after on each trip.

Our Customer Type:

Frequently ask us who our Customer Type: for retailers now and mountain lovers with dozens of years of "experience on his back," fed up of using extremely limiting gears and, because of their construction, forcing the body to an annoying adaptation to the tool, which in the long-worn joints, muscles and mind ...

Our choice was diametrically opposed to the mad rush at lightening which has seen over the past two years; we have adapted the tool to our body and we guarantee that 400,000 years of evolution have made the muscles and bones extremely efficient only when they carry out a step as close as possible to that of regular walking with loose swinging and rolling on the support point from which then is free with a dynamic thrust extremely efficient ...
But, as always, more than words will suffice two of vs. steps on skis to understand what really changes and why it makes sense to our now monstrous, investment in research and development!
